I don't find it embarrassing. Looking back, we may think of Happy Days as a bit cheesy, but it is still one of the more popular telvision programs of the 1970's and is a piece of our popular culture. This may be more true in Milwaukee, where it was supposedly set.

The Bronze Fonze is a piece of pop art. I can accept it for that. It also recognizes Wisconsin's rich entertainment history. TV shows set in Wisconsin:

And here's the list from Florida:

The only TV shows set in upstate NY that I can come up with are Maude and the Dick Van Dyke Show, both set in Westchester County. I can't think of any others. Usually TV shows just make fun of upstate cities like Schenectady and Poughkeepsie.

Binghamton gets mentioned on Law & Order every now and then.

I would think that some TV shows had to have taken place in Buffalo.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.-Martin Luther King Jr.

I am not aware of any television shows set in Albuquerque or anywhere else in New Mexico. In the last three or so years there have been tons of TV and movies shot here because of Governor Richardson's film initiative, but few of those are actually set here (at least in TV).

But there is one on the horizon called "Breaking Bad" which promises to make Albuquerque look really good:

The series, called "Breaking Bad", concerns a High School chemistry teacher who turns to manufacturing crystal meth to make ends meet. Starring Bryan Cranston of Malcolm in the Middle.

Well, it IS a plausible theme here, but not the best PR. If it is successful, maybe one day we could get a giant sculpture of a meth lab!

Toledo

Toledo, OH, is oft-mentioned in the movies. Usually as a place that somebody "came from". Quite realistic.

The great classic Marilyn Monroe flick, "Niagara", has a salesman who continually mentions Toledo. The class TV show, "MASH", had a major character from Toledo, Klinger, who continually mentions Toledo, wears a Toledo Mud Hens' cap, and oft-remarks about Tony Packo's, that great and famous Toledo restaurant. (Klinger was played by Jamie Farr, from Toledo.)

This Bear cannot recall any pop culture statues in the Toledo area. We have our military heroes, a famous doughboy statue in Swanton......no pop. Maybe some day inner-ring suburb Sylvania will erect a Katie Holmes' statue, perhaps honoring the day when she finally slapped her hubbie and left his silly axx.

Bowling Green State University, just a few miles south, has one of the best popular culture libraries in the world.

And, some day they WILL erect a statue that honors a certain Cyburbian who has laid claim to developing the world's largest hand-drawn fictional city map.
